Chapter 26: The strange bird is a living thing, and the TPC headquarters is completely destroyed [2]
As Bert stepped onto the stairs of the bridge, he now had an uneasy feeling. Even though he was standing on the most advanced ship in the world, it could not bring him any sense of security.
TPC Pacific Headquarters is the earliest base established after world peace. It is composed of a combined fleet of the most advanced warships from the old era, sailing on the ocean all day long.
After more than ten years of continuous repairs and upgrades, this mobile base no longer looks like it did during the war.
Come to the captain's room, no, it should be called the director's office now.
"Director James, I think I need to report to you about the movements of the monster on Easter Island." Bot said standing in front of James.
"Hey, my dear friend." James put down the coffee in his hand, "Relax, relax. There are no outsiders here, so we still call each other by our names."
"That monster is approaching the fleet, and it has the ability to become invisible." Bot said seriously, "Radars will most likely not be able to detect his presence."
"Colonel Bolt, I have to remind you one thing. The radar installed at the Pacific Headquarters is the most advanced radar today. Even if the monster becomes invisible, we can still find it and shoot it down." James stood up.
, walked to the coffee machine, "My old friend, I think you were frightened by the war in the Far East."
"James, times are changing, and monsters are also evolving."
"Listen, my friend, what are you talking about?" Bot said with a smile, "It has taken tens of millions of years for us humans to evolve from the past to the present, but it only took a few dozen for you to talk about monsters.
Completed evolution in just 2 years? Don’t be kidding me.”
Bert clenched his fists. He wanted to tell his friend in front of him loudly not to underestimate the monster.
However, he is now a staff officer at the TPC headquarters. If it weren't for his good friend relationship, he wouldn't even be able to meet the director of the Pacific headquarters.
"Bot, I know that you want to exaggerate the power of the monster and find a suitable excuse for your failure." James shrugged, "But you don't need to explain the power of the monster at all. Believe me, the military will understand you.
Yes, you can only stay here for a few years, and then you can go to other branches to become a director."
From a branch chief of staff to a headquarters staff officer, it is said to be a high promotion, but in fact it is a flat promotion. It can even be said to be a demotion. The proof is that Bott lost the rank of brigadier general. James can understand Bott's feelings.
After all, the Far East Branch of the North American Branch of TPC is actually his one-note voice. After arriving at the headquarters, he is nothing.
Bert took a deep breath, "Then we should at least send a team to investigate the incident location of the Golden Team, and let the air force conduct escort patrols over the fleet."
The Far East Branch of the North American Branch was abolished, and its downgrade was an explanation given by the North American Branch to the Far East Branch.
Bert had no complaints about this punishment. After all, it was his stupidity that ruined his army. But when faced with James' "strange temper", he found that his heart, which had calmed down, began to get angry again.
"Reconnaissance is necessary, but patrolling is not necessary." James shrugged, "We have patrols up there, and they are very strict. There is no need to strengthen patrols."
At this moment, the aircraft carrier suddenly shook.
"An unknown object hit the starboard side of the ship and the cabin was flooded!" a crew member yelled.
"Ask the damage control class." A first mate said calmly.
The people on the whole ship began to move in an orderly manner. TPC Pacific Headquarters was the first to deal with the existence of monsters. Over the past few years, it has become an experienced force. This is not the first time they have faced it.
Monster attacks from the bottom of the sea.
This aircraft carrier has a lot of watertight compartments, about 4,000 of them. Even if one of them, or even 10 or 20 adjacent compartments, are filled with water, the ship will not sink.
At this moment, a second shaking was heard, and the first mate's expression changed.
"Prepare depth charges and blow up that thing under the sea for me." Captain James's voice came from the loudspeaker.
Depth charges were already being prepared on the ship's side. As each depth charge fell into the water, the next second, the sea surface began to swell, and then, the sea water turned into water columns and soared into the sky.
And among these water columns, a huge black shadow directly crushed a destroyer and rushed out of the sea.
Yes, Bert and James saw clearly that the destroyer's hull was cut off from the middle. As for whether it was bitten to pieces or punctured, they didn't know.
The water quickly engulfed the destroyer, which was broken into two parts, and other warships also began to open fire.
The sky was torn apart by artillery fire in an instant, but these anti-aircraft guns were unable to hit the monster.
"All carrier-based aircraft take off!" Director James announced through the loudspeaker, "Speed up!"
This combined fleet has three of the world's most advanced aircraft carriers, as well as the most advanced carrier-based aircraft and a first-class maintenance team. This is the trump card of this fleet. It dares to sail on the ocean where monsters are infested. How can it be done without any skills?
.
The first to take off were the six No. 1 planes that took off and landed vertically. The six silver-gray No. 1 planes soon started an aerial chase with the monster.
Green rays of light were flying around in the sky. These pilots were all elites who had survived from the old Defense Force era.
"Damn, this monster is too fast." One of the pilots said, "Apply to break away from the battle and keep distance!"
"Robert, are you crazy? If we leave the battle, the entire fleet will be exposed to the opponent's eyes." Commander Hans among the pilots scolded.
"Captain Hans, we have the most advanced fighter jets, but we have to use the most primitive fighting methods to fight with each other." Robert said through gritted teeth, "If this is the case, I would rather have a third-generation fighter!"
"Shut up." As Hans spoke, he saw an umbrella flower floating in the sky.
The tail of the No. 1 aircraft was hit and exploded into pieces before it reached the sea.
It seemed that this was just the beginning. The monster killed a No. 1 aircraft in the next three minutes. Unfortunately, the pilot this time did not escape.
More and more carrier-based aircraft have taken off, and a total of 24 carrier-based aircraft from two squadrons have formed a formation and pounced towards the strange bird in the sky.
Chapter completed!
